Summary
Automates board sync at session start and board item done-move after PR merge. Replaces the old remind-sprint-update.sh reminder with actual Layer 3 automation, and cleans all residual "sprint" terminology from hooks/ and settings.json.
Changes
POST /boards/{slug}/syncon all 5 active project boards in parallel at session start. Fail-open, idempotent.mcp__forgejo__merge_approved_pr. Extracts the merged issue URL, searches all active boards for a matching item, and PATCHes it to thedonecolumn. Falls back to a reminder if issue detection fails. Gracefully handles missing board items.Test Plan

BLOCKERS
1.
board-item-on-merge.shcannot extract issue number -- merge response lacks head branch dataThe hook attempts to derive the issue number from the PR's head branch (lines 44-53):
However, the
merge_approved_prtool (inforgejo-mcp/src/forgejo_mcp/tools/workflows.pylines 263-271) returns this response shape on success:There is no
headobject in the merge response. Both.tool_response.head.labeland.tool_response.head.refwill always be empty. This meansISSUE_NUMwill always be empty, the essentials check on line 57 will always fail, and the hook will always fall back to the generic reminder message -- making it functionally equivalent to theremind-sprint-update.shit replaces.Fix options (in order of preference):
tool_input.pr_numberto call the Forgejo API (GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}) and extracthead.reffrom the full PR object. Thetool_inputalready providesowner,repo, andpr_number.head_branchto themerge_approved_prresponse in forgejo-mcp (then consume it here).tool_response.messagevia regex (PR #(\d+)), but this gives the PR number, not the issue number -- and PR number != issue number in general.Option (a) is fully self-contained and can be done in this PR. A single additional
curlcall to${FORGEJO_URL}/api/v1/repos/${OWNER}/${REPO}/pulls/${PR_NUMBER}would provide the head branch.NITS
1. BOARDS array duplicated in two scripts
Both
session-start-board-sync.sh(line 20-26) andboard-item-on-merge.sh(line 23-29) define identicalBOARDSarrays. When a new project board is created, both files must be updated. Consider extracting to a shared file (e.g.,hooks/board-slugs.conf) sourced by both scripts.2.
session-start-board-sync.shusesset -euo pipefailwithmain 2>/dev/null || exit 0The
set -euo pipefailon line 15 is fine -- whenmainfails,|| exit 0catches it at the top level. However,set -u(nounset) could bite if any variable is unexpectedly unset insidemain, since errors insidemainare redirected to/dev/null. This is technically safe given the current code, but worth noting for future modifications.3. Board search in
board-item-on-merge.shis sequential, not parallelThe board item search (lines 76-90) iterates boards sequentially. For 5 boards this is fine, but it contrasts with the parallel approach used in
session-start-board-sync.sh. Not a problem at current scale.SOP COMPLIANCE

The core automation in
board-item-on-merge.shwill never fire because themerge_approved_prtool response does not contain the head branch data the hook expects. The issue number extraction will always fail, making the hook a reminder (Layer 2) instead of auto-action (Layer 3). Fix the issue number extraction (recommended: option (a) above -- call Forgejo API usingpr_numberfromtool_input) before merge.The merge_approved_pr MCP tool response only returns {merged, method, force, delete_branch_requested, message} — no head object. The hook was trying to read tool_response.head.label and tool_response.head.ref, which always failed, falling through to a generic reminder. Fix: use tool_input.pr_number/owner/repo to call GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}, then extract head.ref from the full PR response and parse the issue number from the branch name convention ({issue-num}-{slug}). Also extract the BOARDS array into shared hooks/boards-config.sh to eliminate duplication between board-item-on-merge.sh and session-start-board-sync.sh.

Re-review after fix commit addressing the BLOCKER from the first review.
BLOCKERS
None. The original blocker is resolved.
Previous blocker (FIXED):
board-item-on-merge.shpreviously tried to extract the issue number fromtool_response.headwhich does not exist in themerge_approved_prresponse. The fix correctly:owner,repo, andpr_numberfromtool_input(lines 41-43) -- these are always available since they are the input parameters the agent passed to the merge tool._load_forgejo_creds(line 58) to load basic auth from~/secrets/pal-e-services/forgejo.envvia the existingforgejo-helper.shhelper -- same pattern used by all other hooks in this repo.GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr_number}with basic auth (line 63-65) to get the full PR object from the Forgejo API.head.reffrom the API response (line 71) -- the correct field for the source branch name.{issue-num}-{slug}convention (line 76).The flow is logically sound and each failure mode exits gracefully with either a reminder or silent exit 0.
NITS
FORGEJO_URLused before_load_forgejo_credsinISSUE_URLconstruction (line 92): This works correctly becauseFORGEJO_URLhas a hardcoded default on line 23 offorgejo-helper.sh(set inside_load_forgejo_creds), and_load_forgejo_credsis called on line 58 beforeISSUE_URLis built on line 92. However, the script also sets its ownPAL_E_DOCS_URLdefault on line 23 of the hook itself -- butFORGEJO_URLhas no such local default. It works because_load_forgejo_credsalways sets the default. Just noting the implicit dependency for future maintainers.boards-config.shischmod +x(755) but it is a sourced library, not a standalone script. This is cosmetic and does not affect functionality. A644permission would be more semantically accurate for a file that is only eversourced.forgejo_get_issue_number_from_branchexists inforgejo-helper.sh(line 221) but is not used. The hook reimplements the same logic inline at line 76 (grep -oE '^[0-9]+'). Using the shared function would reduce duplication, though the inline version works identically.SOP COMPLIANCE

The blocker from the first review is fully resolved. The fix uses a clean two-step approach (extract PR number from
tool_input, then fetch branch name from Forgejo API) that avoids any dependency on undocumentedtool_responsefields. Error handling is thorough with graceful degradation at every step. Theboards-config.shextraction addresses the first-review nit about DRY. All three nits above are non-blocking improvements for a future PR.
